Katharina --
The site looks nice -- but if you don't have Japanese characters
loaded into your browser, EVERY PAGE ASKS IF YOU WANT
TO LOAD JAPANESE CHARACTERS. If you choose NOT to
load Japanese characters, the pages appear completely normal
-- at least to my eye.
I'd suggest you check your defaults, and see why this happens.
It's more than a little annoying. Other than that, I like your
site.

Hank, Check out her webpage: http://www.pixelluder.com/
Katharina is in Hamburg Germany. Here is a great quote related to her
teacher Genyo Kono, who is also a Buddhist monk:
"The most important lesson my sensei taught me, is that not the skill alone
makes a potter a great one, but that ones heart has to be pure to produce
excellent work. And that the heart will always be shown in ones product."
Lee in Mashiko, Japan

Dear Hank,
thank you for replying to my query.
I am actually free to go anywhere. I have been thinking of Spain, New
Zealand and the US. Japan would be fun only with a very enthusiastic and
diligent studio companion; I still have a lot of connections there, it
could be possible. But I would prefer an English
speaking country ;)
It would be wonderful, if I could find a studio companion or a mentor,
for setting up
the studio. Or may be only some advice would be very helpful.
Thanks a lot
Kathy

Thanks for your help

First, the porcelain work is truly beautiful,
simple, elegant. Extremely stark. In a good
way.
Somehow in the field of pottery being produced
today, some artists are seduced by color to the
extent that that is what it is all about, color,
not form. I especially love your sauciers.
I can almost feel the silky texture of your pots.
To the japanese problem:
I had this same problem.
If you tell it to "never ask to install
language packs again" it will stop asking.

You may or may not discover this yourself. The language problem on
your very nice site resides in the bit of code that reads lang="ja-JP">. Either delete that or change it to "en-US" or "en-
cockney" as the case may be. I leave it to your consummate design
skills to learn more details about the "html lang" tag.

I noticed some incised floral work at the top of one
of the bottles. That type of carving with the
traditional celedon glaze would be a way to add
texture wothout corrupting the simple form.
You might have a small problem with an american
audience for your work, they will assume that it
is cast.
There was a thread here on Clayart about a porcelain
artist .
http://www.teresachang.com/teapots.html
You would be an excellent
candidate to work with her, or at least to model
your studio on hers as she has obviously found a
ready market for work like yours.
Maybe that lead will help you out. You can always
call her and just ask about marketing your style of
work.
You didn't say where you are now.

Hello to everyone,
I have now finished my apprenticeship in Japan, I would like to
introduce you to
my website. Somehow I have difficulties to start my own studio, and
would like to ask you how you got started. I really want to continue
doing ceramics and finding my own style, but I find it safer and more
fun to do it with someone together.
Do you have any recommendation?

Hello Katharina;
I don't know if England is your cup of tea. If it's
not too much of a short notice, there's Ceramic Art
London this coming weekend. March 3-5, 2006. You can
see how the work is like here and you can talk to the
potters and maybe make some connections.
http://www.ceramics.org.uk/home.php
Please write me privately if you decide to come.
Just wondering: Do you have something like a craft
council of the the arts council that gives out start
up grants in Germany?
Regards
May
London, UK
Adrienne Gradauer on sun 26 feb 06
Wow what lovely stuff. Web site looks great too. I am sure you will
do wonderfully no matter where you set up. Best of luck! I have
linked your site to my site...mine is nothing special in comparison,
so please let me know if you do not want to be linked.

Sorry! sent this out before I completed it. My son could not get
work in Australia because of his American passport.

Two factors related to America and Japan are the difficulty of getting visas
that allow you to work in these countries. Here in Mashiko, all the
foreigners making a living in clay I know are married or were married to
Japanese nationals. In my case, I was able to get permenant residency
because my mother was a Japanese national. I think it is a similar
situation in the US.
My son lived in New Zealand for a couple years. My
daughter-in-law is from New Zealand. But he could not get work there
because the economy was pretty slow, so they move to Austrailia for a
while. My daughter-in-law could get work there, because of favorable
receprocal visa conditions (both members of the the commonwealth? I am not
sure?) Hopefully your country has a better reciprocal relationship with
New Zealand.
Good luck!

Hello Elizabeth,
thanks for your superb comment. You are right, I was trying to focus on
shape and how the vessel feels in the hand. Even though you saw my works
only on pictures, and I am really amazed by your ability, the balance of
each item while holding it in the hand was very important to me.
I still have to work on the starkness of my works though. Porcelain
looks easily very cold and impersonal, and I have to bring it more alive
without decorating them.
I fixed the Japanese language kit problem ;)
Cheers
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
thanks for your help.
I initially wanted to display Japanese characters, especially for the
meta tag search engine. But after I placed the Japanese characters in, I
figured out that it made the page (about 3 times) heavier, and
reconsidered. And because my computer is able to read Japanese
characters I never had the character-kit-download annoyance, and left
the html tag inside.
But now everything is fixed ;)
BTW I liked your site very much, you are a great sculpture artist, and
was a little surprised that you do all sorts of designs. I do web design
as well, because it is my
profession, and hope that after a while I am able to fade it out, and
concentrate on
doing my pottery.
Is it hard to live mainly from art? Your works look really amazing
and it is a pity, if you have to do all the other things on the side to
support yourself.
